EUMEDCONNECT3 Supports Environmental and Climatic Research

Climate change is a global phenomenon with very specific local impacts. Water shortages, poor harvests and relentless desertification expose the Mediterranean region's acute vulnerability to climatic extremes. Reviewing recent trends and projecting future scenarios allow scientists to assess the impact of climate change and to formulate recommendations to policy-makers and thus to make a tangible contribution towards sustainable development in the region. EUMEDCONNECT3 is key to the collaborative and data-intensive activity in which many Euro-Mediterranean environmental and climatic research projects are engaged.

The EUMEDCONNECT3 project:

Supports collaborative research between geographically dispersed research teams.

Enables scientists to harness the processing power from multiple distributed computer centres thanks to the powerful EUMEDGRID infrastructure.
